Immigration restrictionists say Trump broke promise by issuing 30,000 extra seasonal visas
by Sean Higgins
April 06, 2019 12:00 AM Immigration restrictionist groups are unhappy with the Trump administration's decision last week to quietly expand by 30,000 the number of visas available this year to immigrants who do nonagricultural seasonal work.
"My guess is they are trying to hide the fact they did increase the numbers ... Trump knows and the administration knows that this is the message he ran on in 2016 ... It is a broken promise by the administration," said Chris Chmielenski, deputy director of NumbersUSA, which opposes immigration increases.
"They've been doing nothing but meeting with business groups for the last few months who have been telling them they need more workers coming into the country," Chmielenski said.
NumbersUSA has backed the administration's push to limit immigration in general but opposed administration policies it claims undermine that objective.
